with me (43 (yeah, yeah, get off my yada, yada, yada...)), it's about textures. I just like touching things and the movement of going past walls and feeling the texture change quickly is pretty cool.
Yeah, but it wouldn't be that cool Exxon oil that all the hipster buy just to show off how cool they are when they're hanging out down at Star Buckz, waving it around so everyone can see.
Bob Forward's novel Rocheworld (Flight of the Dragonfly) nicely illustrates a laser boosted light sail space ship. He was an engineer with JPL and his writing's kinda' stilted but the science and tech is pretty cool.
Hey, applying payroll taxes on anything earned past first $108,000 is pure communism. Who cares if 70% of people make less than $108 and therefore have their full earnings taxed, you gotta' think of how hard the rich have it. They can't afford to be taxes on all 100% of their earnings.
Star Wars posits a world of lower class people ruled (however lightly) by a cadre of elites with no upward mobility path. You're either born with the magic dingus in your system or you're not.
Star Trek is based on competency, where anyone may apply to Star Fleet and prove your worth. Is much more egalitarian.
Ah, gotcha. So... Microsoft just has to brand the various version of Windows correctly. Let's see...
Windows 8 Home Light for ARM Windows 8 Home Strong for x86 Windows 8 Home Plus Light for ARM Windows 8 Home Plus Strong for x86 Windows 8 Pro Casual for ARM Windows 8 Pro Heavy for x86 Windows 8 Pro Executive Casual for ARM Windows 8 Pro Executive Heavy for x86 Windows 8 Mobile Empty for ARM Windows 8 Mobile Full for X86
Should be simple enough to match up what versions of what apps run on which OS.
If the MPAA folks hadn't pushed for DRM on HDMI, we'd have nice Firewire connected AV equipment and everything'd be cool. Can't wait until I find a gateway to the universe where that happened. Although I imagine there's a bunch of slider versions of myself all hanging out in my living room over there.
Yeah, but I don't go around telling people they shouldn't look at porn or drink or stuff. 'Cause that's all stuff that I do. Why would I tell someone to not do something that I do? Doesn't make sense.

My dear sir, I am a geek; not a nerd. I have spoken to a girl and everything!

Wall Street Protests?
Hell, throw Dvorak in there and let him spin his wheels instead of his mouth.

Exactly! Apple Fanboiyes run Slashdot and can fine you now if you post anything negativiley related to Apple.
Or only run Windows in a VM. Just don't let it touch the hardware directly!

China's going to copy our Germans?
I still have disk doctor installed on my 33Mhz system. Haven't fired it up in a couple of years but was running back in 2008. Reads disks just fine.
giffy girls
don't ask for the government to build its own tablet...
First, they'd have to figure out how to make it leak oil.
Exactly!
You know, for kids!
All the poor ($250k/year income) people of course. They can't stand seeing the screws being put to rich people. Poor people love their betters!

Ivanova vs. Zoe on Firefly?
...for when you want to turn off your brain for a few hours.
Yeah, but now days, I'll just use beer and porn. Easier on the system then fantasy.

Don't forget the Bull Moose Bull... um... uh... yeah.

But maybe Microsoft will do the same thing, writing one form of Office for ARM and another for x86?
Well... Mac OS and iOS both have same name apps (Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Safari, etc.) and they don't work on the different platforms.
Oops, you misspelled knucklehead.
